A portable mechanical firehose winder is described. The firehose winder comprises a foldable structure which can be stored and readily transported in a compact, stowed configuration, but can be unfolded in the field to place the firehose winder into a deployed configuration. The firehose winder has a winder mechanism having two pins for securing a firehose connector is mounted on a plate that can be rotated by hand with a crank arm. The firehose winder also has a firehose hold-down mechanism for holding down a firehose as it traverses the winder as well as an adjustable width mechanism for laterally guiding the firehose into the firehose winder mechanism.

A tarp rolling device includes a handle bracket which includes a first section slidably engaging a second section such that the handle bracket has an adjustable width. A pair of ratcheting spools is removably mountable to the handle bracket and each of the ratcheting spools includes a plurality of rods which extend across a tarp to facilitate the tarp to be rolled into a roll when the pair of ratcheting spools are rotated. The handle bracket is urged to swing downwardly thereby facilitating the handle bracket to be rotated on each of the ratcheting spools. Continuing, the handle bracket is urged to swing upwardly subsequent to being urged downwardly thereby rotating each of the ratcheting spools to wrap the tarp around the plurality of rods.

An over-the-range microwave appliance includes a pot filler water dispenser for dispensing water to a vessel situated on a cook top below the microwave. The microwave includes a pot filler housing adjacent a cooking cavity that creates a recess into which the pot filler is housed that is not visible from the front of the appliance. The pot filler includes a dispensing hose or conduit that is retractable or retractably mounted within the pot filler housing recess. The dispensing hose is biased into a stowed position and can be pulled against the bias to place the dispensing hose into a deployed condition, thereafter returning to its stowed position.

A retractor assembly includes a housing, a cover, a rotary plate, a swing arm, an outlet pipe, and an elastic drive member. The housing includes a cavity. The rotary plate is pivotally mounted within the cavity. The swing arm is pivotally mounted and includes a guide protrusion. The elastic drive member is configured to bias the rotary plate toward a reset position. A side of the rotary plate includes an outer guide groove and in inner guide groove. A first channel and a second channel span between the outer guide groove and the inner guide groove. The guide protrusion is configured to enter the inner guide groove from the outer guide groove via the first channel, and enter the outer guide groove from the inner guide groove via the second channel. The second channel includes a locking groove therein configured to catch the guide protrusion.

A winding unit for a vehicle charging cable includes a rotationally symmetrical winding element, a rotationally symmetrical inner body, and a rotationally symmetrical outlet disc. The winding element has a first winding area, onto which a cable can be wound, and a second winding area in a radial peripheral area of the winding unit. The second winding area is arranged adjacent to the first winding area, so that a cable can be wound in the second winding area from an area close to the first winding area one above the other in the direction of the outlet disc in the opposite direction to a winding direction in the first winding area. In addition, the outlet disc can be rotated a predetermined number of revolutions together with the winding element and can then be blocked so that a cable is pushed out of the outlet opening.

A lace tightening and loosening device, wearable clothing, and a storage device are provided. The lace tightening and loosening device includes a base, a spool, a pawl disc, a dial and a connecting structure. When the dial is rotated in a first direction, the driving member drives the pawl disc to rotate in the first direction and drive the connecting structure to rotate, thereby driving the spool to rotate in the first direction to tighten a lace; when the dial is rotated in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the driving member drives the pawl to be separated from the first meshing part, so that the pawl disc rotates in the second direction and drives the connection structure to rotate.

A method of controlling operation of equipment that spools cable on and off a rotatable drum, in one or more embodiments, includes obtaining video data of a position of the cable on the rotatable drum. The method can also include feeding data into a trained artificial neural network and processing the data fed into the trained artificial neural network to determine at least one of a calculated position of the cable on the rotatable drum, a calculated fleet angle, or both. The method can also include actuating the rotatable drum to one of spool cable on and off the rotatable drum.

A harness adjustment device for adjusting a length of webbing includes a toothed rotational member including a spool structured to receive the webbing and an end portion including teeth disposed at an end of the spool, the toothed rotational member being structured to rotate to draw in or let out the webbing, and an engagement mechanism having an engagement portion. The engagement portion is structured to move between a first position in which the engagement portion abuts against the toothed rotational member between at least two of the teeth and prevents rotation of the toothed rotational member, and a second position in which the engagement portion is separated from the toothed rotational member and allows rotation of the toothed rotational member.

A fish tape drum may include a frame. A fish tape drum may include a drum portion rotatable relative to the frame, the drum portion having an outer wall, an inner wall, and a slot arranged between the outer wall and the inner wall. A fish tape drum may include an anchor member moveable within the slot between the outer wall and the inner wall. A fish tape drum may include a fish tape having an anchor end secured to the anchor member and a moving end opposite the anchor end, the moving end configured to move relative to the drum portion as the drum portion rotates relative to the frame.
